How do you fix a flooded starter?

Why does a flooded engine not start?

When your engine is flooded it means that there’s too much petrol and not enough oxygen in the engine. This makes the spark plugs wet and they won’t ignite the fuel. If you’ve only just moved your car a few metres, it’s very common that it won’t start immediately. In some cases you may need to replace the spark plugs.

A intake leak will normally cause a rough idle or even stalling Hot or cold but a little worse when hot. If the engine runs and idles fine after you get it started tells me that something else is going on. Just remember you are up there and we are down here and don’t have a “hands on” deal.
